    %SCIENTIST MOTIVE DESIRE FEAR DECISION BEHAVIOR 891005

     Scientists  usually  perceive their own  behavior  in
terms    of   rationalizations   based   upon    cognitive
considerations.  Scientists look for explanations only  in
the cognitive domain and often ignore significant personal
considerations having to do with their own fears, desires,
addictions,    compulsions,   attitudes,    vulnerability,
defenses, repressed childhood experiences, etc.

     Any  meaningful  understanding  of  the  behavior  of
scientists  must  be  founded  upon  a  perspective  which
transcends  the narrowly specialized assumptions in  terms
of  which  scientists  approach the objects of  their  own
consideration.   Scientists cannot meaningfully understand
themselves  reflexively  in  terms  of  the  same  set  of
assumptions, categories, vocabulary, attitudes, etc. which
are useful in considering impersonal objects. The expanded
perspective  must include consideration of realities  such
as  addictions,  codependence,  collusions,   compulsions,
insecurity,  defensiveness, desire for authentic intimacy,
and lost childhoods, etc.  Purely cognitive considerations
will  be inadequate as a foundation for understanding  the
evolution of scientific thought.
